BRETT CABOT

"From his roots in the highlands of Papua New Guinea and the tablelands above Byron Bay on the East coast of Australia
Brett Cabot has woven a mystical landscape spanning three decades and utilizing all forms of contemporary media.
Brett’s seminal conceptual and creative work with the Sydney Dance Company underscored their early success with SOME ROOMS.

Brett is not only a visual and conceptual artist but is also a talented musician and composer and once again collaborated with the Sydney Dance Company in the evolution of their work CAFÉ for which he was composer, musician and singer.

It is the area of computer animation that Cabot’s creative vision is truly realised. From his early works on the Amiga 2000 through to his cutting edge graphics on the acclaimed international game show GAMEPLANETS Cabot has evolved an arresting style that is both confronting and compelling.

Cabot’s early roots and his love of nature, its confluence and its deconstruction, is apparent in this current series.
We are familiar with the organic nature of the world he shows us but we are challenged by its veracity and magnitude.
Brett Cabot, like the Tribal Cargo Cult of the New Guinea Highlands, watches and waits knowing that soon the Gods
will rain gifts upon us. His images speak of this earthly journey and of our place in it."
